Rob Herring dd336267d8 PCI: Fix pci_host_bridge struct device release/free handling
commit 9885440b16b8fc1dd7275800fd28f56a92f60896 upstream.

The PCI code has several paths where the struct pci_host_bridge is freed
directly. This is wrong because it contains a struct device which is
refcounted and should be freed using put_device(). This can result in
use-after-free errors. I think this problem has existed since 2012 with
commit 7b54366358 ("PCI: add generic device into pci_host_bridge
struct"). It generally hasn't mattered as most host bridge drivers are
still built-in and can't unbind.

The problem is a struct device should never be freed directly once
device_initialize() is called and a ref is held, but that doesn't happen
until pci_register_host_bridge(). There's then a window between allocating
the host bridge and pci_register_host_bridge() where kfree should be used.
This is fragile and requires callers to do the right thing. To fix this, we
need to split device_register() into device_initialize() and device_add()
calls, so that the host bridge struct is always freed by using a
put_device().

devm_pci_alloc_host_bridge() is using devm_kzalloc() to allocate struct
pci_host_bridge which will be freed directly. Instead, we can use a custom
devres action to call put_device().

[tyhicks: Minor contextual change in pci_init_host_bridge() due to the
 lack of a native_dpc member in the pci_host_bridge struct. It was added
 in v5.7 with commit ac1c8e35a326 ("PCI/DPC: Add Error Disconnect

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
